Consider the following data for a substance: Critical point: 114.9 atm and 555°C Triple point: 0.103 atm and 114°C Normal melting point: 1.00 atm and 125°C What is the normal boiling point of the substance? Enter your answer in units of °C to three significant figures.
The boiling point, triple point and critical point are the three points in the vaporization curve of the substance.
The vaporization curve is characterized by the Clausius-Clapeyron equation
Here, the two known points are
(P,T) = (114.9,555)
and
(P,T) = (0.103,114)
We have to find (P,T) = (1,?)
Using the known values in equation,
Using this with P = 1 ATM,
